Merge from: Mitochondrial myopathy

Latest comment: 14 years ago2 comments2 people in discussion

I suggest that the content from mitochondrial myopathy is merged here. Per Clinical Neurology, 3rd ed. (by Fowler, T. J. and Scadding, J. W., pg. 147): "The mitochondrial myopathies are perhaps more accurately termed mitochondrial encephalomyopathies as many of these diseases involve CNS dysfunction." --Eleassar ^{my talk} 19:20, 2 April 2010 (UTC)Reply

Oppose. Looking at Mesh, some but not all mitochondrial myopathies are mitochondrial encephalomyopathies. Also, "Mitochondrial myopathy" is the term used in ICD-10. --Arcadian (talk) 19:39, 2 April 2010 (UTC)Reply
